Saber: Mad Society

Los Angeles based graffiti legend SABER, is world renowned for his Los Angeles River piece (1997), the largest in the world. His piece on the sloping bank of the Los Angeles River is nearly the size of a football field, and can be read clear as day from a satellite photo. In a famous photographtaken by his father just after it was completedSABER stands on the piece and appears as a tiny speck amid a giant blaze of color. In the years since, SABERs legend has only grown as his art has evolved, and his presence on the streets remains undiminished. This engrossing monograph is not only a picture-book, but features amazing stories about childhood, life and death, fine art and graffiti misadventures proving that SABER is a multi-dimensional artist with an amazing story to tell. Graffiti is about style, placement and proliferation. SABER is one of the few people who is a master in all areas.
